Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is a giant tree located in the center of the New World. It has five giant roots, which are responsible for giving life to the New World and sustaining it. However, recently poisoned substances coming from below ground have damaged the Tree-of-Life, alongside behemoth known as World Eaters, who are weakening it by gnawing away at its roots. If the Tree of Life is not saved, the New World may cease to exist or fall into darkness.


World Eaters

It's unknown how these behemoths came to be, but they now pose a serious threat to the Tree of Life and the very existence of all creatures of the New World. Rightly named "World Eaters", these giant bosses must be defeated to save the Tree of Life.
